M.Sartorius originates from ?
- A.
Greater trochanter
- B.
Ischial tuberosity
- C.
Anterior superior iliac spine
- D.
Posterior superior iliac spine
Correct Answer
C. Anterior superior iliac spineExplanation
The correct answer is "Anterior superior iliac spine." The anterior superior iliac spine is a bony prominence located at the front of the iliac crest, which is the upper part of the hip bone. It serves as an attachment point for various muscles and ligaments. M. Sartorius, also known as the sartorius muscle, originates from the anterior superior iliac spine. It is a long, thin muscle that runs down the thigh and helps with flexion, abduction, and rotation of the hip joint.Rate this question:

The function of the quadriceps muscles are:
- A.
Extension of thigh at hip joint
- B.
Flexion of leg at knee
- C.
Abduction of leg at knee
- D.
Extension of leg at knee
Correct Answer
D. Extension of leg at kneeExplanation
The quadriceps muscles are responsible for extending the leg at the knee joint. When these muscles contract, they straighten the leg by pulling the lower leg bone (tibia) towards the upper leg bone (femur). This action is essential for activities such as walking, running, jumping, and standing up from a seated position. The other functions mentioned in the question, such as extension of the thigh at the hip joint and abduction of the leg at the knee, are not correct.Rate this question:

Describe Gluteus maximus!
- A.
F: Extends thigh O: Ilium Posterior I: Iliotibial tract/gluteal tuberosity
- B.
F: Flexion of thigh O: Obturator membrane I: Greater trochanter
- C.
F: Medial rotation O: Anterior iliac spine I: Calcaneus
- D.
F: Flexion of Knee O: Anterior inferior iliac spine I: Base of Patella
Correct Answer
A. F: Extends thigh O: Ilium Posterior I: Iliotibial tract/gluteal tuberosityExplanation
The gluteus maximus is a muscle that extends the thigh. It originates from the posterior aspect of the ilium bone and inserts into the iliotibial tract or the gluteal tuberosity. This muscle is responsible for actions such as standing up from a seated position, climbing stairs, and running.Rate this question:

Name the 4 Quadriceps muscles!
- A.
Rectus femoris, tensor fascia latae, sartorius, vastus lateralis
- B.
Rectus femoris, Biceps femoris, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Medialis
- C.
Sartorius, Gluteus maximus, tensor fascia Latae, Vastus intermedius
- D.
Rectus Femoris, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Medialis, Vastus Intermedius
Correct Answer
D. Rectus Femoris, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Medialis, Vastus IntermediusExplanation
The correct answer is Rectus Femoris, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Medialis, Vastus Intermedius. These are the four muscles that make up the quadriceps group. The rectus femoris is located in the middle of the thigh, while the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius are located on the outer, inner, and middle parts of the thigh respectively. These muscles work together to extend the knee and are important for activities such as walking, running, and jumping.Rate this question:

Which are flexors of the Thigh at hip ?
- A.
Iliopsoas+Tensor Fascia latae+Sartorius
- B.
Vastus lateralis+vastus medialis+vastus intermedius
- C.
Gluteus maximus+ gluteus medius+gluteus minimus
- D.
Semitendinosus+ Semimembranosus+ Biceps femoris
Correct Answer
A. Iliopsoas+Tensor Fascia latae+SartoriusExplanation
The correct answer is Iliopsoas+Tensor Fascia latae+Sartorius. These muscles are responsible for flexing the thigh at the hip joint. The iliopsoas is a combination of the iliacus and psoas major muscles, which work together to flex the hip. The tensor fascia latae is a small muscle that assists in hip flexion and also helps to stabilize the knee. The sartorius muscle is the longest muscle in the body and is responsible for both hip flexion and knee flexion. Together, these muscles play a crucial role in flexing the thigh at the hip joint.Rate this question:

Where does Semitendinosus and Semimembranosus muscles originate from ?
- A.
Ischial spine
- B.
External surface of Ilium
- C.
Ischial Tuberosity
- D.
Inferior ramus of pubis
Correct Answer
C. Ischial TuberosityExplanation
The Semitendinosus and Semimembranosus muscles originate from the Ischial Tuberosity.Rate this question:

Which muscle insert into the posterior aspect of Calcaneus ?
- A.
Flexor digitorum longus
- B.
Popliteus
- C.
Tibialis posterior
- D.
Gastrocnemius
Correct Answer
D. GastrocnemiusExplanation
The muscle that inserts into the posterior aspect of the Calcaneus is the Gastrocnemius. This muscle is located in the calf region and is responsible for plantar flexion of the foot. It helps in walking, running, and jumping by providing power and stability to the ankle joint. The Gastrocnemius attaches to the Calcaneus through the Achilles tendon, which allows for the transfer of force from the muscle to the bone.Rate this question:

Where does M.Tibialis Anterior insert to ?
- A.
Phalanges
- B.
Medial and inferior surfaces of medial cuneiform and base of first metatarsal
- C.
Dorsal aspect of tuberosity on lateral side of 5th metatarsal
- D.
Base of Patella
Correct Answer
B. Medial and inferior surfaces of medial cuneiform and base of first metatarsalExplanation
The M. Tibialis Anterior muscle inserts into the medial and inferior surfaces of the medial cuneiform and the base of the first metatarsal.Rate this question:

What is the function of Quadratus femoris ?
- A.
Lateral rotation of thigh at hip
- B.
Abduction of thigh at hip
- C.
Flexion of thigh at hip
- D.
Medial rotation of thigh at hip
Correct Answer
A. Lateral rotation of thigh at hipExplanation
The function of the Quadratus femoris is to perform lateral rotation of the thigh at the hip joint. This muscle is located deep in the gluteal region and works in conjunction with other muscles to allow for various movements of the hip joint. Lateral rotation refers to the movement of rotating the thigh away from the midline of the body, allowing for outward movement of the leg.Rate this question:

Where does Gluteus medius and minimus originate from ?
- A.
External surface of ilium
- B.
Internal surface of ilium
- C.
Ischial spine
- D.
Anterior and lateral surface of femoral shaft
Correct Answer
A. External surface of iliumExplanation
The Gluteus medius and minimus muscles originate from the external surface of the ilium. These muscles are located in the buttocks and are responsible for abduction and rotation of the hip joint. The external surface of the ilium provides the attachment site for these muscles, allowing them to perform their functions effectively.Rate this question:
